The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) was formed to measure,
monitor and report health plan/HMO performance. NCQA measures are known as HEDIS measures (Healthcare Employers
Data Information Set) and are predominately process measures, such as:
- Number of children under 2 yrs who complete all indicated
immunizations
- Number of women over 40 yrs who have appropriate mammography
- Number of diabetics who have foot exams
NCQA’s "Quality Compass" allows participants to view
national, regional & local comparative HEDIS compliance and member/patient
satisfaction data.
